The best little eunuch

Chapter 148 Leaving Jinling
Chapter 148 Leaving Jinling
Following Hu Ruowu's order, all the sampans were dispatched and headed towards the pirates.The warship was also under the protection of the sampan, heading towards the warship of the pirates.

Now the pirates are still fighting with the merchant ships. Obviously, the merchants also know that if they fall into the hands of these pirates, there will be absolutely no good end.Therefore, they are also struggling to resist.

Seeing a sampan coming towards him, the Haikou's attack obviously stagnated for a moment, and then Lin Feng saw that there were also many sampans from the Haikou coming towards Lin Feng's warship.

"General Hu, hang up the flag of the navy." Lin Feng suddenly realized that the battle flag was not hung on the warship, how can this be done?

"My lord, the navy doesn't have a battle flag yet," Hu Ruowu explained.Normally, under such circumstances, the navy would hang the dragon flag of the Great Yan Dynasty, but this time they came out smart, coupled with lack of preparation, so they didn't even carry the dragon flag.

"My lord, there is a handsome flag of my lord here." Niu Jin stood up and said to Lin Feng.As Lin Feng's chief guard, Niu Jin was naturally prepared.

"Hang up the commander-in-chief of the governor first." Lin Feng said.This is also a declaration to the pirates: We are the official army of the imperial court!

"Yes, my lord." Hu Ruowu said, and quickly ordered people to hang up Lin Feng's handsome flag.Looking at the handsome flag waving in the wind, Lin Feng felt a little narcissistic that the handsome flag was quite beautiful.The big golden forest character in the middle is shining brightly under the sunlight.On the edge of the gold lettering is the black imperial title of martial arts governor of the three provinces of Bo Jiangnan.The whole handsome flag gives people an inexplicable coercion.

Looking at Shuai Qi, Lin Feng said: "Not bad, not bad. Niu Jin, I will take this Shuai Qi with me wherever I go in the future."

"Yes, my lord, the last general has always been on his body." Niu Jin also said excitedly.Anyway, he did something that made Lin Feng happy.

Soon, Haikou's sampan came over and shouted at Lin Feng and the others: "Who are you? Our boss has been watching this fat sheep for a few days, you go find something else."

Hearing Haikou's words, Lin Feng was speechless, and felt that he was the kind of pirate who wanted to eat others. "General Hu, tell them that we are the official army of the imperial court."

"Listen well, we are the navy of the imperial court, have you seen the flag on the ship?" Hu Ruowu said loudly: "If you are sensible, surrender quickly."

After hearing Hu Ruowu's words, Haikou was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said, "Brothers, they said they were officers and soldiers, haha, I laughed so hard, who doesn't know, the court still hasn't done anything for decades. Sailor!"

"I said that you guys are playing too much, right? Even the navy of the court dares to pretend." The pirate on the opposite side said arrogantly: "However, there are really some of you who actually thought of such an excellent method. In the future, we will When you meet a merchant ship and say that you are a naval officer of the imperial court, those merchants have to obediently pay the toll."

"It's unreasonable!" Lin Feng patted the side of the boat and said, "General Hu, teach them a lesson. It seems that the imperial court has not had a navy for many years, and their courage has grown beyond bounds!"

"Yes, my lord." Hu Ruowu was also pissed off by them. It's really unreasonable for him to be regarded as a pirate by others!
"The archers are ready, teach them a lesson!" After Hu Ruowu finished speaking, the archers raised their bows and arrows and aimed at the pirates on the opposite sampan.

Seeing that Lin Feng and the others were going to come for real, the Haikou on the opposite side immediately shouted: "Hey, hey, is this coming for real? Are you really planning to cheat on others?"

"Let the arrow!" Lin Feng was angry, and directly gave the order instead of Hu Ruowu.

Following Lin Feng's order, the archers immediately released their arrows.One of the pirates on the opposite sampan was hit by an arrow and fell into the sea. The other quickly turned around and rowed the sampan, approaching his big ship.

"Stop them." Hu Ruowu loudly ordered the navy soldiers on the sampan.

Soon, the pirate was surrounded.Seeing that there was really no way out, he could only choose to surrender.

Regardless of the pirate, Hu Ruowu ordered the ship to continue moving towards the pirate's ship.The pirates over there also seemed to have sensed something was wrong, and temporarily stopped attacking the merchant ships, but began to take back all their men.

"My lord, they are on guard." The lieutenant general said to Hu Ruowu.

"I'm not blind." Hu Ruowu said loudly to the lieutenant general.Then he turned around and said to the soldiers behind him, "The bed crossbow is ready."

Following Hu Ruowu's order, the bed crossbow was immediately loaded with a huge crossbow bolt, aiming directly at the pirate ship opposite.

"Light it up." Hu Ruowu continued to give orders.When a soldier heard Hu Ruowu's order, he immediately lit the crossbow.As Hu Ruowu lowered his hand, the crossbow was also fired, hitting the pirate's ship accurately.

Since the crossbow bolts are fired, the ships are basically made of wood.Naturally, all of a sudden, the pirates on board were in a hurry.The sea is not comparable to the land. Once they lose their warships, they will die.So at this time, the pirates were unusually united, and they all worked together to put out the fire on the ship.

"Continue firing crossbow arrows." Hu Ruowu said.This is the advantage that the officers and soldiers have over the pirates. Even if they have money, the pirates cannot buy such a powerful crossbow.Because this is one of the weapons that the imperial court explicitly prohibits private ownership.

The pirate ship on the opposite side also seemed to realize that passive defense was not enough, so they accelerated with all their strength and rushed towards the warship where Lin Feng was.

"My lord, they want to die with us." The deputy general reminded Hu Ruowu.

"Turn the rudder and avoid it." Hu Ruowu shouted loudly to the helmsman.

At the same time, the sampans on the sea also started to move. They kept firing bows and arrows at the warships of the pirates to prevent them from rushing towards their own warships.

The pirates seemed to have made up their minds that they must capsize Lin Feng's warship.Regardless of the attack on them by the sampan, they rushed directly towards the warship.

"Drive at full speed!" Hu Ruowu ordered loudly, there was no other way, he knew better than anyone else that his warship would definitely not be able to hit others.The hull of the ship is seriously aging, and if it is hit, it will be more catastrophic.

"Notify General Sun to let his ship stop the warship of the pirates." Hu Ruowu said to the lieutenant beside him.

After hesitating for a while, the lieutenant general asked: "My lord, General Sun's ship is worse than ours, they can't stop it!"

"What nonsense, if you are told to go, you go." Hu Ruowu became anxious all of a sudden, and shouted loudly at the lieutenant general.

"Yes, my lord, the last general will go here." The lieutenant general said, turned around and went to deliver the order.

Lin Feng was on his boat, if something went wrong, he would be the one to blame.The most important thing is that Lin Feng is the one who fully supports the construction of the Navy. If something happens to Lin Feng, who else will support the Navy?Did the navy just disappear like this?
"What are you doing standing there? The crossbows continue to fire." Hu Ruowu said loudly when he saw that the crossbows on the boat had stopped firing.

"Yes, my lord." The soldiers continued to fire their crossbows as they said.

Since the ships on both sides were advancing rapidly, the accuracy of the crossbow arrows was very limited, and they barely hit the ships.However, it made the pirate ships fearful.This is the only purpose achieved.

As soon as Hu Ruowu's lieutenant came back, Lin Feng saw many sampans burning with fire and drifting towards the pirate ships.Since General Sun's warship was upwind, the sampan they put down could just be blown by the wind.So General Sun came up with such a plan.

"Haha, now they have suffered." Xin Hong, who had been unable to help, said excitedly.This is a sea battle, and Xin Hong can't get involved at all, and has been watching from the sidelines.

"They retreated." Dong'er, who was standing behind Lin Feng, was the first to notice the situation, and said loudly to Lin Feng.

"General Hu, they retreated." Lin Feng said to Hu Ruowu.

After patting the side of the boat, Hu Ruowu said, "They can't run away."

Sure enough, after the wave of burning sampans passed, the tattered ship of the Navy appeared in Lin Feng's field of vision.Although this ship is rotten, it is still a warship, so it is still aggressive.

Before the warship got close to the pirate's ship, it began to suppress it remotely.Although the pirates were prepared, most of them used weapons such as hatchets, and very few bows and arrows.For the navy's long-range strikes, they can only passively stand next to them.

"Don't let them get close." Hu Ruowu said loudly.They just want to take advantage of their long-range weapons to attack the pirates.If they were really on board with the pirates, the soldiers of the navy might not be able to beat these veterans who have been at sea all year round.
